Think of a star as a hydrogen bomb that just keeps going and going and going. It generates all kinds of energy. Heat and light happen to be the ones that are useful to us. If you're wondering why it doesn't burn up and stop, it does. It's just so big that it takes it billions of years to run out of fuel and stop.

How does a star get its own light?
A star gets its light from nuclear fusion. Hydrogen atoms become helium atoms producing light and heat.

Hmm well if a star is moving, then i do not believe it is a star dude. If it doesn't light up til it gets close it's definitely not a star, lol

Where does the space time graph bends for a star?
everywhere. it just gets weaker with distance, but the bending extends to infinity (after infinite time, as it propagates at the speed of light like all other information about the star is limited to).
A collapsed star from which light cannot escape?
The collapses star gets squeezed by collapses gas and turns into a black hole.
What does it mean if a star is experiencing a red shift?
redshift is what happens when visible light gets longer in wavelength, thus shifting toward the red end of the spectrum of visible light. This is a phenomenon that occurs when the light source is moving away from the observer.
